Todays - What grinds my gears *ARCHIVE*

[stinkwheel]

[hellkat]

I just woke up from a proper old style nightmare.

Of someone getting out the back of my car and leaving myself and my younger sister in it with no gears, steering wheel or brakes and heading toward a hidden precipice.

Fucks sake.
I actually woke up going "No!"

My gears are currently being ground because I’m awake and have been for about a hour. That’s time I should be asleep - and the alarm will be going off shortly. Bugger!

Eldest daughter, 24 informs me she has just got her first tattoo. FFS

What’s the point of carrying and delivering a perfect human being for it to allow some grizzled old scribbler to draw permanent doodles on it?

I have made my displeasure known by saying it looks like a wrinkly ballsack

Idiots.

Idiots everywhere. Every site I have been to today has been populated by the love children of Ashley and Harvey Price.


Ashley Price talking about the generator:-"It's fucked mate wont make any power"

Me:- Yeah you havn't plugged your equipment into it.

Next site....

"Ugh it wont start M8 deffo fucked"

I get there and it's out of fuel.

How are these people capable of wiping their own arse let alone building houses baffles me.

I think this came up before - unless you are used to labouring, don't start now as it will hurt.

You would be far better off paying some muscle-bound youth £75 cash as a day rate. If you feed the mixer and he barrows/fills, you should have it done in a day or two and you'll still be able to play the piano...

4.5 cube in a mixer?! You'll be there all week. With a Belle 150 or equivalent it'll take you a good 10 minutes to produce each load of concrete properly and perhaps 100kg per mix (yes, in theory they're rated higher but for small mixers that's plenty). If it's a cheaper consumer-grade mixer, it might not survive that many cycles.

Seriously, get readymix delivered; it'll be better quality than you'll mix yourself and will save you a ton of time. You'll get a better finish too as it'll all go in at once, you won't keep up with it mixing yourself so some with go off before you finish. Batching plants churn out consistent recipes and measure stuff like the moisture content of the aggregate - water content in concrete is massively important, easy to have too much and it'll be prone to segregating and you'll have a naff end product with little strength.

Gears currently being ground by PayPal . . . sold an expensive item and now they're "Holding" my payment from the buyer for up to 21 days. I get the impression the gist is basically protection for the buyer so if they've shelled out a lot of something they get the chance to ensure it's as advertised before PayPal release the money to me. In the mean time I've got some pretty hefty eBay final value fees about to hit which I was intending to settle with the monies from that particular sale. Nice. I have had a bit of a sabbatical (about 10 years) from actively selling on eBay; years ago I never had any problems with either the selling platform itself nor PayPal, but both seem to have turned into generic pains in the neck.

Wasps (vicious yellow jacket type)... just had one of the little arseholes land on me and cause me to flip out. He didn't do any harm to me, but I hate that as a grown man a small insect causes me so much fear.

I saw a picture of a Ducati Xdiavel. Deaer God. It looks so bloody horrid that I looked up a video of it, and was confronted with THE most repellant POS called "campisi" pucchasing the said Sucati POS.

EURGH! The worst-looking thing since that one someone posted in ""eBay's Most Miserable Bike" thread. Bleargh!
